How long do they take to eat when in containers ?

I've put them in different containers for >4 hours now. The following items are stored with them but none were consumed (and worm alch is still 25 all).
crowberry stalk
maple leaves
grass
wild garlic
lilypad bulb

Has anyone seen worms eating ?

I'm not surprised that jorbtar requires "touching the worm" as a game mechanic. Those two should be spanked and sent to their rooms without dessert.

Unfortunatly, they're Swedes. Swedes are notorious for not spanking their children. Their country is doomed.

I believe the optimal setup is a box with 5 worms going across the middle row, with food in rows along the top and bottom. That way each worm is adjacent to 2 pieces of food and you refill the food every 24 hours, and no wasted space in the container.

I love how this is ends up creating luxury worm-farms.

"At Wiggly Acres, each of our worm fed a strict diet of only the purest of foods. Hand-picked from the compost bin and handled with love and care, our worms are the highest quality in the land.

(p.s. don't tell the Tribe where we live)"

This reminds me of silk worms in HnH :D . Some days, if leeches were to be in game, I'll open a leech farm for medicinal use lol.
